Chapter 35 A good drama (Part 1)

As soon as Wei Chi passed by, he saw a man about 36 or 7 years old and was pressed to the ground. The person escorted him was Erhu. Erhu was dressed in a short dress, with mud on his feet, and he looked like he had just returned from the ground, and there was a kettle next to him.

"What's going on?"

Wei Chi looked at the situation in front of him and asked calmly, not worried about the stolen things at all. If it is so easy to breed earthworms, just steal a few earthworms and a few packets of feed to tinker with it, then he wouldn't have to experiment for nearly a year to get it out. If he didn't master the real technology, no matter how much he stole, it would be useless.

Like Wei Chi, Xie Jiu was not worried, but someone would not be happy when he stole the door. His face was tight and he was stern. Wei Chi smiled indifferently, patted her hands, signaling her to be calm, and whispered: "It seems that it is the turn of a famous detective Wei Chi who has read countless mystery novels to appear. Come on, madam, let's play our beautiful assistant, right?"

Xie Jiu glanced at him, Wei Chi smiled, turned to Cheng Huinan and Erhu, and looked at the guy being caught. His figure was not tall and strong compared to Erhu and others. He was very small and thin. He was wearing the clothes of a servant of the Wei Mansion and gritted his teeth and looked at Wei Chi.

Wei Chi was helpless and had no idea of ​​asking questions. He said to Erhu directly: "I just discussed the punishment with Mr. Cheng a few days ago. You have also heard of it from the side. Let's go and practice it."

Erhu thrust his chest, stared at the man, and said, "Yes, master, I know what to do, take it down."

Erhu left with the pressure on the man. Wei Chi turned to Cheng Huinan and asked, "Can you tell what kind of way that girl is?"

Cheng Huinan was stunned, then said with surprise: "Yes, master. From a young age, that person's way should be a golfer. He may not have much martial arts, but he is better at dexterity."

Wei Chi nodded, pondered for a while, suddenly smiled, and said, "Are you worried that my wife and I were suspicious of you newcomers?"

Cheng Huinan's face turned red and nodded, "Yes, nothing happened when the young people didn't come. Something happened in the mansion just a few days ago. It's really heartbreaking."

Wei Chi smiled, walked over, patted his shoulder, and said, "You are too worried about this matter. You are from the Cheng Mansion, whether it is the old Duke of Cheng Mansion or the brothers of Cheng Ming, you are almost a family with my Wei Mansion. You are the people selected by Uncle Cheng himself, so why would I not be at ease! I hope you don't be suspicious about this matter and do it well. Let's figure out the sword matter before we talk about it."

"Yes, lord! Thank you for your trust." Cheng Huinan bowed and bowed, Wei Chi just smiled and asked him to waive the gift and talk about the situation at that time.

It is the season for spring sowing, and almost every household is busy with spring sowing, and the Wei Mansion is no exception. Most people are transferred out to help with spring sowing. There are only a few people in the mansion. The Erhu brothers also went out to help because Yun Niang was pregnant. Outside the breeding room, there were only two or three people guarding. In view of Wei Chi's previous orders from important places, Cheng Huinan and others were transferred to the duty.

After working for a day, Erhu came back to carry water before dark, and happened to see a guy running sneakily towards the breeding room. Erhu was an old man from the Wei Mansion. He knew that everyone in the mansion was very strange. He chased after him and was about to see who it was. Cheng Huinan and others had just arrived, and the people in the Yu Mansion were not familiar with him, so he put the man in. If Erhu hadn't followed behind, maybe he would have stolen the things.

Cheng Huinan said: "Master, please punish us. If the young people were not careless, this thief would never be able to let him in."

Wei Chi raised his hand to stop him from continuing to blame himself and asked, "Did that thief know you at that time?"

Cheng Huinan was not a stupid person either. He immediately understood and thought about it carefully, and said, "He did not call out my surname, but just smiled and called out to the elder brother, saying that he was ordered by the master to take some things over. By the way, he also greeted him a few words and asked us if we were used to staying in the village. He guessed it privately, and he should know that we were all new here!"

Wei Chi nodded and smiled, "In this way, the scope will be narrowed. Our Weifu Zhuangzi said that the defense is tight, so it is not worth mentioning, but it would be interesting to let a stranger sneak in from the house and wear a family mate's clothes to pretend. In the past few days, you will follow me to investigate this matter. Be sure to find out the truth and pull out the black sheep of our Zhuangzi!"

Cheng Huinan was a little excited and quickly took the order: "Yes, master, the young man will do his best to help you!"

Wei Chi smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Maybe Erhu can ask everything, maybe, wait and see. You can take the people near the village first, don't disturb the merchants, let's go quietly."

"Yes, Master."

Cheng Huinan took the order and left. After telling everyone to do whatever they should do, Wei Chi pulled Xie Jiu back to the house and drank warm tea. He felt good. Xie Jiu was full of contemplation and thought for a while, saying, "I think there should be a traitor, but this traitor will not be a person in our mansion."

Wei Chi smiled and said, "Please give me advice."

Xie Jiubai glanced at him and said, "Although we did not introduce all Cheng Huinan and others to the people in the mansion, the housekeeper has always been mature. He should have informed the people, saying that there were ten more guards in the mansion. Even if there were some sluts and told them about this matter, they would not even not say their surnames. The thief obviously did not know the origin and surnames of Cheng Huinan and others. He only knew that some new people had been added to the Wei Mansion and chose the busy spring sowing season. When the big tiger and two tigers who were familiar with the situation in the mansion were not around, he should have some understanding of the old people in the mansion and were very familiar with the situation of sowing on the farm."

Wei Chi laughed: "Madam is wise and can be a famous detective. Actually, I think so too. As long as the scope is determined, you will know when Erhu examines the person."

Xie Jiu nodded. He didn't wait for the result for a long time. After dinner, he was about to exercise after cooking, Erhu asked the result. The situation was similar to what Wei Chi and Xie Jiu speculated. The thief was just a rogue in Chang'an City. Someone gave him fifty taels and asked him to come to Wei's mansion to steal things while the spring sowing farming season. The person who called him was familiar with him. He was a model who is famous in the countryside and a prodigal son who turned back. He was a typical example of knowing his mistakes. The famous Qingniu boy's shoes. The Qingniu gave Ya fifty taels and asked Ya to steal things, and promised that as long as he could steal the secret of raising poultry in the Wei's mansion, he was just around the corner.

Wei Chi nodded after hearing this and asked Erhu: "Go and see if the green bull is still there?"

Erhu said, "As soon as I asked, I asked someone to catch that girl, but the person who went there came to repay her. The girl said three days ago that she had never come back to the market in Chang'an. She also took away more than ten chunks of money that her parents and daughters-in-law had worked hard to save. His father had already told him not to recognize the disobedient son. Master, what should we do about this matter?"

Wei Chi frowned: "Erhu, what do you want to say? Tell me!"

Erhu smiled honestly and said, "It's the matter of the young man's family. Now Qingniu has committed a crime. His parents, wife and children are still in our village. What should we do? Master, just say something, otherwise it will be difficult for us to do."

Wei Chi nodded, suddenly smiled and said, "Erhu, you didn't care about these things before, who asked you to ask?"

Erhu was honest and said, "It's Yun Niu. When I sent someone to Qingniu's house to find someone, Qingniu's parents cried and scolded, saying that Wuyan lived in the village of Wei Mansion and wanted to move elsewhere. Qingniu's wife and children refused to do so, and the family became a mess. Yun Niu asked me to ask the master, and we could do it as we could."

Wei Chi didn't answer, but just smiled and said, "You guy, you really married a smart wife. OK, what's your wife going to say? Let's finish it in one go."

Erhu laughed and said, "Yun Niang said that since Qingniu came back, their family's life has been better and better day by day. Qingniu is good to his parents, but he still beats and scolds his wife and wife. He scolds him for being a woman who can only give birth to money, and cannot give birth to a son for him, and cannot inherit the incense of their family. Once, he drunk and said that when he became rich, he would take his parents over, and why he would sell his wife and children to others as slaves. He also asked if anyone wanted what he wanted, which could be sold cheaply. Yunniang said, "Master, it's better to go to Qingniu's house to see it."

Wei Chi was dumbfounded when he heard this. He knew that there were people in this world, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. There was really no one who was the most slut, only even more sluts. Xie Jiu pursed her lips tightly and cursed "absurdity". Wei Chi lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Qingniu's house. Do you want to go together, Mrs.?"

“Go together.”

Xie Jiu looked cold and stood up and went out with Wei Chi. When he arrived in the village, he saw Qingniu's mother sitting in front of the door from a distance, crying and scolding: "You can't stand us, you can't stand us well? Just take the money-lossing goods you gave birth to. We can't afford to lose this person anymore. If you don't leave, let's go!"

Qingniu's wife Guihua's wife was very sturdy and insisted: "Mother-in-law, Qingniu did such a despicable thing. Weifu treats us well. Not only rents land for us, teaches us to raise poultry, but also provides us with money to build a house, giving us a wealthy and stable life. Qingniu has so many wrong things. If we leave, we will not repay Lord Wei's great kindness, in the future, we will be stabbed by others!"

When the mother of Qingniu was suffocated, she simply cried and used her tricks to make a fuss. She kicked her legs around the ground, slapped her thighs with both hands, and cursed while crying. She scolded her sister Guihua for being heartless, and her son ran away, and her wife was unfilial. Not only did she not raise a grandson who inherited the incense, she also gave birth to a girl who lost money, she cried and wanted to throw the mother and daughter down.

Qingniu's father was waiting coldly for the osmanthus and daughter, and said angrily: "It is because Qingniu did something wrong that we have to leave Weijiazhuang. Do you still have the face to stay? You don't want your face, old man, I want this old face!"

Sister Guihua's face was pale when scolded, she hugged her daughter tightly, bit her lower lip, and stopped talking. The little girl snuggled tightly in her mother's arms, looking at her grandparents who had never been good to her on weekdays. She was so scared that she dared not speak, and tears were spinning in her eyes and did not dare to fall. She was very pitiful.

Wei Chi and Xie Jiu went over and didn't say anything. Seeing Yun Niang being among the crowd watching, someone called Yun Niang over. Wei Chi asked, "What's the situation? Where is the singing?"

Yun Niang glanced at Qingniu's parents coldly and sneered, "Go back to me, I'm just a farce. Have you ever seen someone who feels guilty about moving away, and you don't bring anything, but only some fine things?"

Yun Niang reminded me that Wei Chi looked at Qingniu's parents. As Yun Niang said, Qingniu's parents did carry a bag each, not big, a small bag, probably just fine and soft items, and they didn't bring any furniture they used daily.

Wei Chi swept around, but no sound came from the pigpen and poultry pens. He asked strangely: "Why don't their family raise livestock? Every household in our village relies on this to supplement the household income, why do they..."

Yun Niang said, "Master, I am close friends with Guihua Sister-in-law and often have contacts. I heard that before the New Year, Qingniu pulled all the poultry out and sold, and the money sold was taken away this time. Just now, Erhu sent the arrest of the person, and I cared about Guihua Sister, and then followed her. Qingniu's parents cried and cried very sadly, but they did not show any surprise. They seemed to have known it for a long time. The burden was quickly packed, just like they were prepared. They were only pitiful to Guihua Sister-in-law, and they were still complaining that they had a hard life. They had not met a good man, and they failed to give birth to a son for Qingniu to inherit the incense. They did not dare to blame their parents-in-law for treating her badly."

Yun Niang's tone seemed to be resentful, but it also revealed a lot of things. Wei Chi and Xie Jiu looked at each other, Wei Chi smiled, and stepped forward and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't make a fuss."

"Ah, the master and the wife are here."

In the countryside, it is just such a big place, and every household can know about the things that Qingniu mom cried at the door for a while, and many people gathered. When Wei Chi came, they greeted him.
